Scream can't handle pressure of lan...?! Bro just look the first game on split against V1 where he was just to good. The entire 3 games against V1 he played well even when Liquid got destroyed by V1 on haven. Then against Kru Vikings and Fnatic he played good as well. Second best player of Reykjavik i don't call that "can't handle the pressure of lan".
i feel like marved is a tad ovverated. I dont see him making lots of plays in their last few matches, and when they were carrried by babybay. Yet when he gets a 2k or 3k everyone says "THAT BOY COLD" when he can get consistent impact. I LOVE subroza but same with him when he is on duelist, not lots of impact and he gets a kill chat spams lets go yassine. Roza's lurk though is the best ive seen

imagine wardell outfragged tenz with sova
You’re the kind of na guy that makes the world think na’s stupid. I don’t understand the na or the eu that are deluded and keep saying that such a player or team sucks just because it is eu or na. It’s boring and disgusting and takes away the flavor of the exciting rivalry between na and eu. but i'm glad to see that even na people react to your comment who is rly fucked up. It shows the real na community who is not deluded like you just bcs you're a fan of sentinels and tenz.
- jjamppi was boom or bust, which is terrible for consistency in a pro team, and it had nothing to do with him being relatively new to the TL squad
- wardell is good, but definitely overrated and I think that's due to him being entertaining on stream
- nitr0 is just washed and needs to go. Not rated highly, and yet he's still overrated as a boom or bust player, mostly bust. Just look at his stats and you'll see
- Every BR team
- EU flashes
It's probably because his value in pro play is just not as much as other sova's. I do think he's an integral part of 100t though. People who say he should be kicked off the team are simply wrong. But he just doesn't have as much skill as his brand built on him being a pro player shows him as. Like people follow him because they think he is one of the best pro players or at least that's what I think but that's just strange but i guess it makes a little sense because he's a csgo player so people recognize his name.
Check the bottom comment in his video: https://youtu.be/ciLo-EfYcbc
Ik it’s youtube comments but wtf
Really??? Ive seen more people just not know about xeta lmao. Xeta is a very good player and I don't think he's underrated. But I don't really think he's overrated. His stats are pretty good with the sova considering it's NA. Where most sovas just hide in their hole and bait the whole team to shoot their shock dart lineups and their recon darts.
Uhh. RB maybe? I've seen him be overrated a ton by people who don't even watch korean games. I think he's good though.
TenZ does do really well although he's still very overrated.
Wardell just isn't being favored by the meta so I do think he's overrated is a player in a team even though he's a funny dude.
Scream is most definitely overrated because even though he does carry the team. He just doesn't bring much unique value. Like his util usage is ok but not the best. With the new nerfs to util. He will become better but over time im guessing that util will keep being buffed as that's probably riot's plan to counter power creep by nerfing everything to make sure that util doesn't become to powerful over time. But I think that players will become better with util so Scream is gonna be less valuable and people think he's the god of eu when he really isn't. There are many players which are pretty close to his level in eu and bring even more value.
Also even though im a c9 simp. I think Leaf is overrated af. And the other players on the team don't get enough love. Like wtf how does no one care about mitch and think he's getting carried. Leaf is a really strong player but he isn't as good as c9 worship him as.
Shahzam is a good igl. I won't lie. But his style of counterstratting. Requires his team to be simply better than the other team. If they aren't. Then you could run into some problems. I do think he's still slightly underrated overall. But the people that think he's the best igl. Are probably wrong. Because Shahzam's true value is his versatility. He can do so many different things. He can frag and he can play multiple roles. I do think he's still probably top 10 players in the world but he's not as good at certain roles as people think.

Counterstrating is exploiting weaknesses in your opponents game that's why tier 2 teams use it against tier 1 teams, you don't have to be better you just have to know what your doing and have a decent igl
I usually don't often see t2 teams upset t1 teams with counterstratting. It's honestly pretty rare now. I guess you could say bbg but that day was more of sentinels doing trash than bbg doing well. The only really good examples are from a while back with maybe like dignitas vs tsm. I do think counterstratting is strong. But I personally think having better strats is usually better than counter stratting. And to be consistent with this style of counterstratting. You need a really strong team in the first place for the teams that you don't have much time to counterstrat. I feel like that prep time is more important to have to innovate. And even if they had a while to do prep work. The other team can also do prep work and create strats that can just straight up win them rounds. Sentinels don't have those rounds really. Which I think doesn't help them. Of course since they already have all the best players in the world I guess they could just roll over people with a few ideas of how to counterstrat. But I just think many other igls are just straight up better as igls and people give too much credit towards shahzams igling when it was mostly just a team effort where everyone just played straight up well. Maybe this is a bad take but honestly I don't know if it's that strong of a way to igl.
or maybe it's just because I don't like to watch this style of igling lmao idk. I just think people don't care enough about his other attributes which I think are much better than just his igling. I still stand by my other points.
Oh yea but an example of a team beating another team with innovation is V1 vs C9 bc like if they didn't innovate on post plant meta. C9 probably could've won. And I think there are just so many more examples of t2 teams beating t1 teams by adapting to the meta and innovating and just going farther than just counter stratting. Counter stratting can only get you so far in a game like valorant. It works in Shahzam's case but I don't think it's optimal.
